Turin, April 16, 2025 — The award ceremony for the 2025 edition of Architetture Rivelate, organized by the Architects’ Associations of Turin, Aosta, Asti, Cuneo, and Novara VCO, took place last night in the evocative setting of the Teatro Regio in Turin. Year after year, this event has become one of the most anticipated moments for architects, scholars, citizens, and enthusiasts of urban living — and for the first time, this edition embraced the entire Piedmont region and the Aosta Valley.

A prize that tells the story of the territory

With 68 projects competing from nearly every province in Piedmont and the Aosta Valley (Turin, Cuneo, Novara, Asti, Biella, Aosta), the 2025 edition showcased the energy and vitality of the design world throughout these areas. The jury, chaired by Ida Origgi of the Milan-based studio Ifdesign, selected four winning projects — one for each of the categories — and awarded three special mentions.

The awarded projects were celebrated not only for their aesthetic or functional value but also for their ability to engage in a deep and respectful dialogue with the contexts they inhabit. As is tradition, the winning projects will have steel plaques installed on-site, helping to create a true map of quality architecture, accessible to all and woven into the urban and natural landscape.

The awarded projects: a widespread narrative across cities and villages

🏆 New Construction and Adaptive Reuse Category
We Rural, Poirino (TO)

A refined example of architectural reuse in a rural setting: an agricultural structure transformed with respect and design intelligence into a space that welcomes new functions without losing its historical memory.

🏆 Temporary Installations and Interior Spaces Category
Luzzatti, Cuneo
Project by Balance Architettura – Alberto Lessan, Jacopo Bracco, Eudes Margaria
An interior design project that also becomes an urban gesture: the restoration of the former railway workers’ villa becomes an opportunity to rethink spaces and services with great attention to materials, contrasts, and the layering of time.

🏆 Open Spaces, Infrastructure, and Landscape Category
Acqua pietrificata, Pella (NO)
Project by Elena Bertinotti and Paolo Citterio
A small intervention that generates great emotion. Through light, stone, and form, it guides visitors on an intimate and poetic journey through the village of Pella, enhancing the public space with discretion and care.

🏆 First Work Category
eZ, Borgofranco d’Ivrea (TO)
Project by Alessandro Servalli
An open-air kitchen counter that proves how even a small project can embody a grand design vision. Essential, functional, and perfectly integrated into its context.

A prize that leaves its mark

The value of the Architetture Rivelate award lies not only in highlighting architectural excellence but also in making architecture accessible, understandable, and shareable. The plaques placed on the awarded projects are not mere acknowledgments but become tools for collective storytelling — starting points for a new awareness and appreciation of everyday beauty.

A book to tell twenty years of perspectives

To cap off the evening, the publication “Architetture Rivelate. The Beauty of the Ordinary” (LetteraVentidue Editions) was presented. The book gathers twenty years of awards and 123 selected projects. This precious volume is enriched by an insightful essay from architectural historian Luca Molinari, who offered the audience a passionate reflection on the role of architecture in the transformation of territories and communities.

With this edition, the award once again confirms itself as an open window onto the widespread quality of contemporary architecture — a quality that is often quiet, yet always capable of transforming, revealing, and inspiring.
